Strong's Lexicon min: Kind, species, sort Original Word: מִין Word Origin: Derived from a root word meaning "to portion out" or "to sort." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1085 (γένος, genos) – Refers to race, kind, or family. - G2398 (ἴδιος, idios) – Pertains to one's own, private, or peculiar. Usage: The Hebrew word "מִין" (min) is used to denote a category or classification, often referring to different kinds or species within creation. It is primarily used in the context of God's creative order, emphasizing the diversity and distinctiveness of various forms of life. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, categorization of living things was significant for understanding the natural world and humanity's place within it. The concept of "kinds" reflects an early understanding of biodiversity and the orderliness of God's creation. This classification underscores the belief in a purposeful and intelligent design by the Creator.
